Well it’s not that I don’t like your pastor but someone does……..maybe. Now you’re wondering why I decided to write a post called ”I don’t like your pastor”? Last year the great people at Leadership Network did an online conference called “The Nines” a one-day event that ask over 75 differnt leaders, “if you had just 9 minutes to share with church leaders what would you tell them?” it was met with great success. So this year in preration for the event they put out a poll in what I can only guess is one of the tools they will use to help narrow down the list for this years speakers.
Now I think this is great idea asking the people who they want to hear from. The interseting thing is in this poll not only can you vote for someone you can vote against them. Now I usely thought a vote for someone was a vote againts another. Yet what threw me for a loop is that people actually voted against pastors. Now I can’t speak for every name on that list. Yet I’ve had the chance to either meet several of these pastors(great place to name drop but I want), read their books or hear them preach and I can say that they have a heart for God and are kingdom minded and truly want to see changed lives.
I can’t speak to the hearts of those who voted agaist people or even their reason why. It could be anything from I don’t like there doctrine to I don’t like their hair style. It just reminded me of 1 Corinthians 1:10-17 . Did I mention that it actually shows you a pic of those who voted “against” oops! Be careful voting against someone that’s on the same team.
Don’t forget to vote and check out “The Nines”
